An armed robber felt the wrath of two sex shop employees when he attempted to rob Lotions & Lace, an adult-oriented retail store in San Bernardino. The man walked in with his face covered, pointing what appeared to be a gun at the two clerks. It was 9:45 p.m. on Wednesday, minutes before the store’s closing time.
"With the gun, he walked in. I just thought he was trying to be funny, to scare us," said “Amy,” one of the employees. "But then I saw the gun and it was like, really? I don't have time for this."
Amy told KABC-7 that she knew the gun was fake and wasn’t afraid. The two co-workers chased the man away by yelling and throwing sex toys at him. The would-be robber raced out of the store empty-handed.
The incident was caught on video.
"I think he was a coward," the second employee, who wished to remain anonymous, added. "Coming in and trying to get over on two females and not realizing that were pretty feisty."
Police are still looking for the suspect.
